Hi Keith, I'm also researching in this area. Quarter Sessions for Mixbury would be in Oxfordshire, but because the parish borders both Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, one really must check records for all three counties, because people often bounced back and forth across the borders. ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith Jackson [mailto:Keith.Jackson@nottingham.ac.uk] Sent: 10/14/2004 6:05:56 AM To: ENG-BANBURY-AREA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BAN] Quarter Sessions > My Gaskin/Gaskins/Gascoyne ancestors lived in Mixbury and Juniper Hill, near Brackley. My brick wall is William Gascoyne, who was baptised at Mixbury in October 1780 as the son of Elizabeth Gascoyne. There are no earlier entries for the surname or its variations. I've visited the Oxfordshire RO and the vestry documents for Mixbury have been lost. An alternative source might be the appropriate Quarter Sessions rolls in case they list details of a maintenance order against the putative father. > > With Mixbury being right on the Northants border, I'm not sure where the appropriate QS records might be held. Does anyone have any idea about jurisdictions of these courts at the time? > > Regards, > Keith > > > This message has been scanned but we cannot guarantee that it and any > attachments are free from viruses or other damaging content: you are > advised to perform your own checks.
